I know for most of the DVDrip movies I have have really low volume, musics plays just fine, musics can play very loud. whats the sound card that it equipted with? if it is realtek HD audio, try changing the equalizer to "Powerful" this made my speakers sounds alot more like desktop level. what video card does your model come with? how does the sound compare to the 5920G??

I haven't tried with headphones yet, so I will try that this afternoon and let you all know. I will also load up a couple of games, crank up the eye candy settings and see how it handles that and let you know. Cheers D Hi Morris

I'm not a technical guy, just an average joe, I just wanted it for movies and games on the move. Its sweet. Very sweet, the screen is yummy, hi def is better than I thought it could be on such a small screen. The touch sensitive control is great, its like being a starship captain or something, "I need more volume!!!" The overall build quality looks great, the case is VERY sexy. Scren takes some getting used to. Its like a limosine, not really taller than your average car but loooonger. Umm can't think of much else to write just now, suffice to say its sweet and I love it.

I can install any number of programs etc and rescan to get the same index score of 4.7. After installing new graphics drivers, the "desktop performance for windows aero" always falls. Whilst the "gaming graphics" increasefrom 5.1 to about 5.3. I'm sure the 6920 is faster and more powerful, the same way the 5920(15.4") was more powerful that the 7920(17"). The sacrifice is between more screen and slower components, or smaller notebook and faster componenents I have a t7300 cpu and it’s top rating has only ever been 4.9.

My aspire 5920 cpu was at 4.7 if I have a clean install of windows with the newest driver, now it has fall to 4.5. A T7300 cpu can get maybe about 5.4 already, so there is a possibility that they are still using the t5XXX series for the new models as well.
